Ah Zhu's attachment to the small mountain village lies in her grandmother and her childhood memories. But this time, when she took her grandmother to Yinxun, everything had changed when she came back, so she had a deep feeling. Her grandmother was much more reluctant to leave than Ah Zhu, because she had spent most of her life here, and the courtyards, houses, fields, and trees here were all very familiar to her.

Because all things have feelings, grandma often talks to them, and she murmurs in a mysterious voice:

"Forget it, you won't understand."

In fact, they also understood, and at this moment, they sent her on a journey with the breeze. In the sight of the old men, the eldest sister and the other two went far away in an instant, and soon disappeared.

The winter wind was cold, so Ah Zhu pushed aside everything and moved forward unhindered. Grandma looked at everything on the ground and couldn't help but stare at it for a long time, fascinated by it. She knew the world was big, but she didn't know it was this big. At this moment, every second she moved in the air, she would travel a very long distance, but it was so vast that she didn't know the edge.

After walking for a long time, looking at her intoxicated look, Ah Zhu felt that he owed her something. But Xia Xiao's hand fell on her shoulder, like a kind of comfort. They still had time, they could respect their grandma well, let her eat everything she wanted to eat, see everything she saw new, even if she wanted to see her children, Ah Zhu would go to find them immediately, but she would not make so many requests.

At this time, grandma had only one wish, which was to see Azhu put on her wedding dress and get married with Xia Xiao.

Turning her head and looking at her little Ah Zhu, grandma asked:

"Is it still far?"

"It's almost there. We'll be there in half an hour. Grandma, are you tired?"

"I kept looking at the ground and felt a little dizzy and a little bit dizzy."

Grandma was very embarrassed. She was most afraid of causing trouble to Ah Zhu. But she stretched out her hand, covered the ground, and adjusted the speed appropriately. The already weak sense of movement became even weaker, as if she had not moved at all. In addition, her vision did not change. She felt that she was just sitting in the sky that she once thought was out of reach, but it was actually moving. She knew it.

As a rural woman, my grandmother had never been to Yinxun. The farthest place she had been to was Longgang, but she knew that the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty where she lived was Yinxun. That dreamlike city was an extremely spacious and luxurious city, where everyone was wealthy, and the lowest class of people were probably richer than her.

This is the true thought of the widow in the remote border area, but the people over there are as nervous as she is. However, they are not afraid of strange things, but afraid of not being able to serve the old lady who is coming.

Last night, Xia Xiao told Si Yi to prepare a house for her to support Ah Zhu's grandmother. Si Yi naturally had to give this favor, and even if he had a lot of things to do, he asked someone to find a suitable house in Zhenxun. After searching for a long time, there was no suitable place in this crowded city, so Si Yi cut out a palace in the imperial city and equipped it with patient palace maids and guards to welcome her arrival.

Because everything was prepared too hastily, the palace maids and guards had just taken their positions, waiting for Xia Xiao and the other two to arrive. When a cultivator ran through the courtyard in the corridor, he quickly brought good news.

"Everyone take your positions, the people are coming."

Standing above Yinxun, Xia Xiao took a step back. When contacting Si Yi, Ah Zhu attracted the attention of the grandmother and asked her:

"Look, grandma, this is Zhenxun."

Grandma stretched her head to look, and all she saw was majesty and grandeur. This cautious black city really resembled the national style of her Great Xia.

"Grandma, the Xia Mansion is over in the west city. I will take you back today so that you can have a good rest. Tomorrow you can come with me to visit the Xia Mansion."

"Okay, I have always received favors from the Xia family, but I have never visited them. A few letters are not enough to express my gratitude."

"Grandma, you're too polite, but Xia Xiao's mother is very beautiful and she makes great pastries just like you."

Grandma blushed and stammered:

"I don't know how to make any cakes. I can only make rice balls and vegetable meatballs. How can they compare with exquisite cakes? You must not talk nonsense in front of outsiders. If you praise your grandma to the sky, it will be difficult to come down."

"How could that be? Besides, grandma, you are in heaven now."

Ah Zhu's playful look made grandma stretch out her trembling hand, pinch her pink little nose, and say naughty words. Ah Zhu smiled and looked at Xia Xiao. He had already bent down slightly and whispered in grandma's ear:

"Grandma, I'll take you to the mansion first, and see if you are satisfied. How about that?"

Grandma naturally agreed, but the direction they were heading to was not the east or west, nor the north or south ends, but the imperial palace in the middle. The magnificent palace was extremely dazzling, which made grandma ask in surprise:

"Are we in the wrong place?"

Ah Zhu also looked at Xia Xiao. Was he going to live in the palace? That would be so inconvenient. Ah Zhu was not interested in the palace of His Majesty, as he felt it was too depressing. He could just find an elegant residence in the city. But Xia Xiao seemed to be up to something, because he was smiling brightly at this moment.

"That's right. The Kindness Palace was chosen by His Majesty and prepared especially for Grandma."

"Really?"

Grandma felt incredible and a little flattered, but she looked at Xia Xiao and Azhu one after another, and they all nodded. But it was not only grandma, Azhu was also a little incredible. After all, this is the imperial palace, with the majesty of a king, how could she just move in casually? She didn't understand what Si Yi was up to, was he trying to please her?

Xia Xiao saw Ah Zhu's frowned brows and knew what she was thinking. He used his energy to transmit his voice and said:

"Your Majesty has no concubines, so the harem is largely empty. Now the city is full, and it's not quiet and clean enough to find a place anywhere. It's better to go to this Kindness Palace. Your Majesty said that this is where the old queen mother lived before. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. The equipment is all top-notch in the royal family, and the maids and guards are all from the harem. It's been idle for so long, and now it's time to fulfill my duties and serve the old lady."

"Well, now that you mention it, I am a little curious. Why didn't Si Yi marry any concubines? Are all the maids in the palace idle?"

"Although the Great Xia Palace is large, the number of palace maids is very small. In order to help some civilian women get through the difficult times, we have recruited some of them."

"Is that a way to get through the hard times? It's no different than selling yourself."

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Many people are eager to get into the palace, dreaming of becoming an extraordinary queen."

Ah Zhu nodded, not quite understanding. She felt that there was nothing good about the queen. Wasn't she just a pheasant that flew up to the tree and became a phoenix? She didn't care. The things on her head were heavier than stones. She had to walk with small steps and eat slowly. Her grandmother said that one dish should not be eaten with more than three chopsticks, otherwise it would be impolite. She didn't want to care about that.

Led by Xia Xiao, the three of them came to the circular archway. The three characters of Shanxin Palace on it were not dazzling, but the stone statue at the door was very exquisite. They walked in and entered the front yard. The palace maids and guards were all lined up in an orderly manner. When they saw the three of them coming, they saluted in unison and said:

"Welcome, old lady."

Because they were afraid of scaring grandma, everyone spoke in a low voice, but their voices were so uniform that she was shocked.

"What are these?"

“They are all people who serve you.”

“So many?”

Grandma cried out, and roughly counted them. There were hundreds of people. How could she need so many people? But they were very respectful to her and were still kneeling. It was the first time that Grandma knew that she had such a noble Dharma. Her life was almost over. Grandma had only served others, and had never let others serve her. Seeing so many people kneeling at this time, she whispered to Ah Zhu:

"Why are you all kneeling?"

"They can only get up with your consent."

Grandma roughly understood and nodded:

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, old lady—"

The sound was uniform again, which made grandma feel a little uncomfortable. She felt it was very strange and that she was not worthy of being served by these pretty girls. But one of the stewards stepped forward and said:

"I am Huang Shan, a doctor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I am in charge of the old lady's living and food. The old lady has worked hard on the journey. I wish the old lady a long life and happiness as vast as the East Sea. Please go to the palace and rest."

After Huang Shan finished speaking, the guards and palace maids returned to their original positions one by one. There were so many people at the beginning, but suddenly there was no one around. Two very pretty palace maids with a faint smile on their faces came over and wanted to help the old lady, but Ah Zhu refused.

"Let me do it."

"Yes~"

They followed the three people in soft voices, while Huang Shan led the way in front of them and introduced them to the grandmother in the corridor. He was very kind and called her "old lady" all the time, which made Xia Xiao and A Zhu happy. However, when the grandmother was dazzled but couldn't stop looking, Xia Xiao and A Zhu started to talk to each other.

"Your Majesty is so generous."

"It's only natural to be generous. Once we get married, who will dare to invade Daxia again?"

"Then I will stay in the palace with grandma for the next few days."

"Okay! Once you're settled, I'll go back and see what the current situation is like. You can just stay here with grandma. By the way, I'll ask Senior to bring Doudou over. He'll probably be at the palace in the evening."

"Why don't we go by ourselves? Why trouble you, senior? Don't think you can order you around just because you're strong. That's rude."

"Of course I know, but we have to use less of our own strength now, and I don't want to go back."

"I don't believe you! You are the one who wants to go back to the academy the most. You were at Side Peak at that time, and your eyes turned red when you saw me entering the academy."

"That's bloodshot eyes."

"I don't believe it!"

Ah Zhu glanced at Xia Xiao and saw that grandma's steps were getting unsteady, so he quickly supported her and asked:

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Grandma felt that she had made a fool of herself and looked a little flustered, but the more she felt this way, the more distressed Ah Zhu felt.

"My eyes are a little blurry."

"Then let's go take a rest."

"Old lady, come with me."

Huang Shan saw that this old lady was just an ordinary person, but she nurtured a spirit like Ah Zhu. It was really a good reward for good deeds. Otherwise, not to mention this life, even in several lives, she would not be able to cultivate such a blessing. He led the way, stopped in front of the door, and asked the three to go into the sunny room first.

"Old lady, please take a good rest. We will be waiting outside. Please feel free to tell us if you need anything."
